    HEEEELP! Flasher doesn't work

    After switching to LED turn signals i get the hyperflashing problem.

    I bought a new flasher to replace the OEM one to fix the hyperflashing but it didnt work when i plugged it in. I then replaced the OEM one and the flasher STILL doesn't work!

    What happened? How can I fix this?

    I believe I read somewhere once that LEDs draw less power so when it replaces the OEM, the car thinks the light is blown out. I wish I knew where I read that from..and I think they had to use some type of resistor to fix the issue.

    This may or may not be the issue with yours but I thought i'd just give my input on what I read that one time.

    you blew a fuse because of the hyperflashing. i had the side marker that go in your fender up front in some mesh after i took out the stock lights, and i had the same problem. so i bought another set and wired it in to the same one and put those in the fenders.

    you can use a resistor but i dont know which one. anyone know?

    ive been hyperflashing for a while. i only blew the fuse when i tried to switch the flasher with one that is supposed to fix the hyperflashing issue.

    i forgot to disconnect the battery when i switched them out so i am wondering if that is the reason why i blew the fuse or if its because my flasher doesn't work.

    you blew a fuse.. most of those LED flashers are made by cheap chinese companies and arn't manufacured correctly.

    I modified a stant but it blinks uber slow.

    Theres also the Nokya adjustable flasher but thats way too expensive.
